An older extremely violent movie describing a possible exaggeration of the underside of drug wars and the degradation that goes along with it. Cops in particular are depicted well beyond the law. No plot. Possible showcase for Christopher Walkin and the director of cinematic special effects. Gave it a C for special effects.
From Rotton Tomatoes: The gritty underbelly of New York's complex, ethnically divided criminal world is exposed in this dark drama from director Abel Ferrara. Christopher Walken stars as Frank White, a drug lord who's just been released from a long stint in prison. Aware that feeding off of society's depravity has made him a wealthy man, Frank has become determined to give something back to the city, and he hatches a scheme to build a multimillion-dollar public hospital in one of Brooklyn's worst ghetto neighborhoods.
